RICO - Everything (cover art)

R&B singer RICO pre-releases digital single ‘Everything’

‘Everything’ is the first single RICO pre-releases off ‘PANORAMA’, the upcoming second part of his new full-length album.

RICO‘s first full-length album ‘The Slow Tape‘ was nominated for Best R&B/Soul Album and Song at the 13th Korean Music Awards. About a month ago he released ‘WHITE LIGHT‘, the first part of his second full-length album. ‘Everything‘ is the first track of the upcoming second part titled ‘PANORAMA’.

The single is a love song produced by rookie R&B singer-songwriter NUZ. On his simple and still beat, RICO expresses feelings of love in his captivating voice. The lyrics compare these feelings to water that bubbles and becomes quiet again. The singer wrote the lyrics together with his labelmates Don Malik and SLEEQ. RICO’s falsetto that appears in the latter half of the song like the remains of breaking waves is the highlight of the song.

The second part of RICO’s second LP, ‘PANORAMA‘, will come out at the end of the month. The CD will additionally contain remixes and bonus tracks.

FLIK - Kaleidoscope (album cover)

R&B duo FLIK release first full-length album ‘Kaleidoscope’

It’s here! Loki and WONDERLUST, who are alternative R&B duo FLIK, have released their first full-length album ‘Kaleidoscope’.

The name FLIK stands for “freaky life in kaleidoscope.” The duo is made up of singer Loki and producer WONDERLUST.

Their first full-length album ‘Kaleidoscope’ is made up of ten tracks, including the pre-released ‘Hard-Boiled but Half-Baked‘, ‘Swim Good‘, and ‘Think About It‘. The songs are variations of the R&B genre, which was mixed for example with trap or house music. A dreamy synthesizer sound is the central theme of the album.

There are two title tracks. ‘Up All Night’ with a faster groove for which Patrick Cho, who has often worked with neo soul musician Rose, played the guitar. ‘Sweet Big Blue’ is an early 2000s-style R&B song, similar to The Underdogs or Bryan-Michael Cox’s music. It has a strong 808 drum and contrastingly sweet lyrics about spending time with one’s lover.
